Ingredients :
(Makes about 8 cheeseburger bombs)
For the Filling
- 1 pound (450 g) ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar works best, but mozzarella or a blend is great too)
For the Dough
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
You may also use pizza dough if preferred
For the Garlic Parmesan Topping
- 2–3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 2–3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Optional Add-Ins
- Cooked bacon bits for extra smoky flavor
- Diced pickles or jalapeños for a tangy or spicy twist
Instructions :
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and break it apart with a spoon. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease to keep the dough from becoming soggy.
Once cooked, stir in the shredded cheese until slightly melted and well combined. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly before assembling.
3. Prepare the Dough
Separate the biscuit dough and gently flatten each piece into a round about 3–4 inches wide. This creates enough space to hold the filling while still sealing easily.
4. Fill and Seal
Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each flattened dough round. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching tightly to seal. Roll gently into a ball and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic (or garlic powder). Brush the tops of each dough ball generously with the garlic butter, then sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
6. Bake
Bake for 12–18 minutes, or until the bombs are puffed up and golden brown. The dough should be fully cooked and lightly crisp on the outside.
7. Serve
Allow the cheeseburger bombs to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, burger sauce, or spicy mayo.
